Art and Antiques
Chinese art is very popular, and a painting or some other handicraft is a perfect gift for friends and relatives when you get back home from China.
When it comes to antiques, we should mention that most of what is marketed is not antique at all, but newly manufactured replicas. Real antiques need state approval to leave the country.
